Thursday Billboard Update - 6/23/11

Adele 21's loses its #1 spot again as Bad Meets Evil's Hell: The Sequel debuts in the top spot with 171,100. Of course this is Eminem's lowest first week sales ever, but at the same time, it's Royce Da 5'9's best. Either way, it's damn good for an EP. Ledisi's Pieces Of Me debuts at #8 with 36,000 sold.

Despite losing her top billing on the Billboard 200, Adele's remains atop the Hot 100 for a 7th week with her smash hit Rolling In The Deep. Joining the top 10 this week is Katy Perry's Last Friday Night, which skyrocketed 27 spots 31-4.

Thursday Billboard Update - 8/27/09

There's nothing going on in the top 10 as far as I'm concerned.

No new entries into the top 10 this week, but the same ol' guys in a few different spots. Jay Sean's Down does reach a new high at #3 though.

The Billboard 200 1-10
first week debuts in bold

1. Reba McEntire - Keep On Loving You (1)
2. George Strait - Twang (1-2)
3. Third Eye Blind - Ursa Major (3)
4. Kings of Leon - Only By The Night (5-4)
5. Black Eyed Peas - The E.N.D. (3-5)
6. Neil Diamond - Hot August/NYC (2-6)
7. Miley Cyrus - Hannah Montana 3 sdtk (12-7)
8. Taylor Swift - Fearless (9-8)
9. Daughtry - Leave This Town (8-9)
10. Various Artists - Now 31 (6-10)

• Did you know Sean Paul dropped an album?? Well he did and Imperial Blaze debuted at #12 with 28,000 sold. That's pretty good for an album no one knew about. I remember him dropping a single and in the actual post it does say its dropping August 18th, but I just figured it got pushed back since I hadn't heard anything else until now. I mean I didn't even see the album leak online or anything.
• Neo-Soul singer Ledisi also dropped an album, Turn Me Loose, last week and it came in at #14 with 27,000 sold. May be I was just out of the loop, but I had no idea this came out either.
